"The debut Opus One has retained its elegance and delicacy, with spicy currant, cedar and cherry flavors that offer richness, depth and complexity without weight."
FineWine International
Debut vintage. Blend: 80% Cabernet, 16% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot
Wine News 92
"Wonderfully evolved, intense, fragrant nose of cedar, black fruits, smoked meat, leather and brown spice. Sweet and luscious with soft tannins and brimming flavors, yet supremely elegant and complex. Bordeaux-like in its balance, depth and richness. Drinks fine now." From 20th Anniversary Tasting held October 1999

1981 Phelps Backus California (750ml)

$95.00
FREE shipping on 6 bottles or more. See all qualified wines
Wine Spectator 91
A very supple, generous, fruity wine that's charming to drink now but has the depth of flavor and balance for further aging. Oozing with fresh, ripe, lush cherry, currant, plum and spicy mineral flavors that are very deductive. The tannins are smooth but thick and rich enough for further aging. A style that combines early drinking fracd with medium-range aging potential.

A real mouthful of Cabernet, rich, full-bodied and tannic without being overdone. It's minty with cedar, chocolate and cassis flavors that have depth and intensity. Very well balanced.

1985 Heitz Bella Oaks California (750ml)

$95.00
Wine Spectator 92
"Powerful and complex, with lots of ripe cherry, currant and spice aromas and flavors, hinting at chocolate and toast on the long, long finish. A big wine with plenty of grace and elegance. Approaching drinkability, but it has the structure and character (3845 cases produced)."

"Fragrant, appealiing,moderately herbaceous, Medoc-like nose of bell pepper, cassis, cedar and chocolate. Elegant and well structured, exhibiting balance and finesse with gobs of sweet, luscious, succulent cassis tinged with tobacco leaf." From 20th Anniversary Tasting held October 1999.

$170.00

Robert Parker 93
The backward 1985 Eisele Vineyard is marvelously concentrated, but extremely tannic and at least 5-10 years away from full maturity. Impressively endowed, well-focused, dense, powerful, thick, and tannic, this wine leaves little doubt that the extract, ripeness, and quantity of fruit are more than sufficient to balance out the wine's tannic ferocity. This is a huge, massive, stunningly proportioned Cabernet Sauvignon that should hit its stride by the turn of the century and last for two decades.

"Incredibly concentrated, rich and powerful, but still smooth and plush. The flavors of mint, cherry, black currant and spice are deep, long and chewy with great complexity and polish. Not for everyone, but absolutely full of flavor and beautifully structured, harmonious and complex."

1986 Hess Reserve California (750ml)

$100.00

Robert Parker 92
"This wine possesses a profoundly deep ruby/purple color exhibiting no signs of age. A sweet, jammy, blackcurrant, truffle, licorice, and vanillin-scented nose is youthful as well as expressive. Full-bodied, structured, and rich, with high tannin and equally high levels of fruit, glycerin, and extract, this is an atypically youthful, well-balanced California Cabernet that is just beginning to open and reveal secondary nuances and flavors. Accessible and impressive to drink, it will only get better over the next 5-10 years, and it will keep for another 20 years. The tasting notes for this section are from two single blind tastings, one conducted in May, 1996, in California, and the other in June, 1996, in Baltimore."

1986 La Jota Anniversary California (750ml)

Robert Parker 90
The 1986 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon still boasts an opaque dark garnet color. In addition, it remains tannic, backward, and youthful. The wine possesses admirable power and richness, but it is interesting to contrast the type of tannin in the 1986 (astringent, bitter, hard, and intrusive) with the style of tannin La Jota has achieved since 1992 (sweet, well-integrated, and ripe). This wine may turn out to be outstanding, but it is no sure bet, particularly when compared to their gorgeously opulent, complex, rich, 1986 Cabernet Franc. In spite of being powerfully endowed with considerable levels of fruit, extract, glycerin, and tannin, my instincts suggest this Cabernet Sauvignon will always possess an excess of tannin. I would continue to age this wine for another 2-3 years, hoping for some softening; drink it over the following 10-15 years.

1986 Mondavi Reserve California (750ml)

$95.00

"Showing more complexity now than the '85, with tough, concentrated tannins and a rich yet elegant core of currant and spice. Classic."

Deep brick colour. Appealingly evolved nose of leather, game, tobacco, espresso, stewed prunes, bacon and tea. The palate still provides a good amount of elegant fruit that builds in the mouth. Light to medium level of silky tannins remain with medium to high acidity to provide freshness. Long finish. Fully mature. Should keep a further 2-3 years. Tasted April 2009. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard is remarkable. It possesses an opaque purple/black color with no lightening or amber at the edge. A huge, exotic nose of sweet, toasty oak, smoked herbs, grilled meats, and black fruits soars from the glass. This lusty, powerful, classically-structured Cabernet reveals superb richness, full body, and a long, sweet, rich finish with no signs of fruit oxidation or deterioration. This wine will benefit from another 2-3 years of cellaring, and will keep for 15-20 years - amazing!

Robert Parker 92
The youngest and most backward, and the most promising wine of the four 1986 wines in this segment, is the 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard. The dense purple color with no lightening or amber is followed by a classic Eisele nose of crushed stones/minerals, black-raspberries/currants, and spicy wood. Full-bodied, concentrated, and pure, yet very youthful, this wine could easily have passed for a 3-4 year old California Cabernet. Hefty and concentrated, with considerable tannin, it requires another 2-4 years of cellaring; it will last for 20 years.

"Distinctive for its ripe wild berry, cherry, earth and mint flavors. It's complex, elegant and well-focused.."
Robert Parker 90
"The 1986 Insignia, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc, is much more forward and developed than the 1986 Backus Vineyard. The exotic, sexy fragrance of roasted coffee, sweet cedar, red and black fruits, spices, and ginger struck me as vaguely reminiscent of the 1947 Mouton-Rothschild. In the mouth, the wine is another animal, exhibiting sweet, juicy fruit, medium to full body, and a surprising herbaceousness that is nicely balanced by the wine's lush, concentrated fruit, high glycerin, and overall size. This may be a controversial Cabernet given its exaggerated personality, but I loved it! Fully mature, it should continue to drink well for another decade. 1986 was the last outstanding vintage for the Joseph Phelps portfolio of Cabernet Sauvignons until the 1991 vintage (although 1990 was good, it was not as superb as the vintage's quality would suggest)."

This is easily the most concentrated and potentially longest-lived Cabernet Sauvignon that chateau Montelena has ever made. The extract level is incredible, yet the balance is there..the wine's black/purple color, extraordinary bouquet of rich cassis, violets, and licorice, massive extraction of flavors, sensational depth, super ripeness, and length are awesome.

"Extra facets and dimensions abound in this deeply complex and flavorful wine. Impressive for its focus and finesse, though there's an underlyingfirmness and authority in the core of chewy currant, herb and anise flavors. Delicious."

Wine News
A spectacular wine offering forward, appealing scents of raw meat, black pepper, clove and black cherry-cassis. Huge on the palate, yet finely balanced with lluscious, rich, deep, extracted black fruits accented by notes of dried herbs and leather. From 20th Anniversary Tasting held October 1999.

"Intense and concentrated, with plenty of exotic, spicy cedar and sage notes and a rich core of currant, vanilla, berry, anise and tar flavors. The finish lingers long."
Robert Parker 89
"The 1987 Alexander Valley exhibits a big, dramatic, spicy, oaky, smoky nose that is also intermingled with aromas of herbs and black fruits. It offers a big, generous, supple mouthful of Cabernet fruit bolstered by adequate acidity. It is framed nicely by the vanillin notes of American oak."

"Oodles of luscious oak notes envelop the herb, currant and fruit flavors in this firm but velvety wine. Very deep in color, with plenty of tannin to lose as it ages. Oaky flavors last through the finish. Overall it's big and generous."
Robert Parker 91
"Copious amounts of toasty, vanillin, and smoky new oak aromas accompany lavish amounts of rich cassis fruit. In the mouth, the wine exhibits a multidimensional texture, with layers of black-cherry and curranty fruit wrapped in generous quantities of new oak. This full-bodied, impeccably well-made Cabernet Sauvignon should drink well in 2-3 years and last for 15 or more."

1988 Dominus California (750ml)

Robert Parker 91
The 1988 has to be among the top two or three Cabernets of the vintage. Other than 1983, the 3,300 cases produced in 1988 is the smallest production of Dominus to date, as over half the crop was deemed unsatisfactory. Twenty-five percent new oak was used. The dense, opaque ruby/purple color exhibits great saturation and intensity, and the nose is beginning to offer up smoked herb and ripe cassis aromas. In the mouth, the wine is deep, medium to full-bodied, with excellent concentration, and one of the longest, richest finishes I have found in a Cabernet Sauvignon from 1988. The tannins are noticeable, but softer than in the 1989 or 1987. Of all the current Dominus offerings, I suspect the 1988 and 1984 are the most flattering to drink at present. Nevertheless, this wine should easily evolve for another 10-15 or more years.

1988 La Jota Anniversary California (750ml)

$85.00
Robert Parker 88
In spite of the lofty price, this wine ranks as one of the best 1988 Cabernets I have tasted. Impressively dark ruby/purple-colored, the nose offers aromas of black-cherries, spices, herbs, and toasty oak. In the mouth, there is excellent richness, full body, moderate tannins, and the potential for at least 10-12 years of aging.

E Robert Parker In Asia, Lisa Perrotit-Brown 91
Medium to deep garnet-brick colour. Savoury / earthy notes of soy, hung meat, sweaty leather, tobacco, truffle, a suggestion of cardamom and a slight medicinal / menthol character. The palate gives a high level of acidity with a medium level of silky tannins and a good concentration of spicy, savoury fruit. Long finish. Drink now to 2013. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Robert Parker 90
La Jota's 1989 Cabernet Sauvignon is more evolved and forward than usual. The huge, earthy, weedy, tobacco, and blackcurrant-scented nose is followed by a rich, generously endowed, satiny-textured wine that coats the palate and finishes with impressive quantities of fruit, glycerin and alcohol. Most Howell Mountain Cabernets start life with a hard, firm, tannic edge, but this offering is pure suppleness and pleasure. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.

"The wine offers a saturated, dark purple color, and a rich, spicy, oaky nose backed up by generous quantities of jammy blackcurrants. Ripe, highly extracted, and full-bodied, with copious amounts of sweet tannin and layers of fruit, this is a knock-out, flamboyantly-styled Cabernet for drinking over the next 15 or more years."
Wine Spectator 93
"Aging extremely well, this is rich, sleek and elegant, with a wide range of black cherry, anise, currant, plum and earth notes that offer depth and complexity, finishing in a long aftertaste." Tasting note from the February 28, 2001 issue of the WS.

Robert Parker 93
"The 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot) reveals an astonishingly deep color, as well as a huge aroma of smoky cassis, chocolate, and licorice. In the mouth, it is a powerful wine, with great stuffing, wonderful structure, enough acid and tannin to frame the wine's immense size, and a formidable finish. I was told the yields were a minuscule 2 tons per acre. While it should not be drunk before the mid to late nineties, it has the potential to easily last for 20 years."

"The 1990 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate was reviewed in issue #95 from tastings done before its release. Tasted twice from purchased bottles, it is a backward, but splendidly concentrated, broad, expansively-flavored, full-bodied Cabernet with a high level of tannin. Its stunning display of highly extracted, blackcurrant fruit judiciously wrapped in toasty oak is impressive. It is a 20-30 year wine."
Wine Spectator 95
"Dark, ripe, rich and intense, this is a powerful young wine that packs in tiers of currant, black cherry, plum and cedary oak flavors and shows tremendous tannic strength."

Distinctive, if atypical for Napa. Spicy and meaty, with oregano and pepperoni notes, slowly showing riper currant and black cherry flavors, with cedar, dill and earth notes.--California Cabernet retrospective.
Robert Parker 88-90
the 1990 Backus Vineyard possesses the big, minty, chocolatey nose typical of this vineyard, full-bodied, ripe, unctuous, chewy flavors, plenty of tannin, and a spicy, lush finish. This potentially outstanding wine should be drinkable several years before the 1991. 88-92 pts.

Its black/purple color and knock-out nose of jammy black fruits, herbs, spices, licorice and toasty oak are followed by a wine of extraordinary intensity, precision, and weight. It is a huge, impeccably balanced Cabernet Sauvignon for drinking over the next 20 years."

"The 1991 gets my nod as being slightly better than the 1990. Fleshier and more deeply extracted, as well as possessing a superb sense of balance, it offers an attractive herbal, cassis, and chocolatey nose, sweet, curranty, expansive flavors, decent acidity, and a long, fleshy, spicy finish. While it will be flattering to drink early on, it should keep for at least a dozen years."

"The 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon 10th Anniversary Release reveals a character similar to the 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain, with richer fruit, and more sweetness and intensity on the palate. However, the tannin level is frightfully high, making this wine a candidate for drinking between 2000-2025. This is an immensely impressive Cabernet Sauvignon."

"The fabulous 1991 Reserve is the quintessential Napa Cabernet that represents a sytnthesis in style between the elegance of a first-growth Bordeaux and the ripe, intense, generous fruit of Napa Valley. It is just hitting its peask of maturity where it should remain for 10-20 years."
